How to Deal with Spills ?

Dealing with Spills 


If you spill liquid on a keyboard, the best thing I found to do is quickly shut down the computer, disconnect the keyboard from your computer and hold it upside down over a sink and allow the liquid to drain.
If the  liquid is a fizzy drink, tea or coffee, you will need to hold the
keyboard on its side under warm running water to rinse off the sticky 
liquid.
At  this  point,  the  keyboard  may  not  be  repairable,  but  rinsing  the sticky liquid off is the only chance for it to be usable again.
You will need to let the keyboard dry thoroughly for a few days before plugging it back in. After this kind of accident some keys may stick. This  is  difficult  to  repair  depending  on  how  bad  the  spill  was. Fortunately keyboards are cheap now days.

The best way to avoid this situation is to keep drinks away from the computer area.
